No matter how powerful Windows Media Player 10 is, it is not at all user friendly especially for people who are new to computers [Yes there are people who are new to computers even now, like my parents.] and microsoft doesn't seem to understand that.

The media player 10 options of Now playing are still confusing, after talking to my father for about 20 mins over international calls, he was barely able to play a dvd. I would blame the s/w which is not User friendly at all.

Why doesn't Media player just playes it automatically without any hassel on auto insert.

or other softwares do the right thing.. I guess instead of giving my laptop to my parents i should have gave them a dvd player. Atleast dvd players are easy compared to laptop..
